The fandom is in meltdown mode after shocking reports claim that Untamed’s most beloved star from Season 1 may not return for Season 2. The reason? A swirl of scandals so messy, insiders say Netflix has already considered recasting the role entirely.
The actor — whose brooding performance turned him into a fan-favorite overnight — is now caught in a storm of romantic rumors, backstage feuds, and a secret contract dispute that could derail his future with the series.
The Scandal Nobody Saw Coming
Whispers began circulating weeks ago when paparazzi snapped photos of the actor leaving a late-night party with a co-star who is not his publicly known partner. Within hours, tabloids exploded with speculation of an on-set romance.
“It’s messy, it’s complicated, and Netflix hates this kind of attention,” an anonymous insider revealed.
But that’s not all. Multiple crew members reportedly complained about heated clashes between the actor and the show’s director during production. One source even described a shouting match so intense that filming had to be paused for an entire day.
The Money Problem
As if the drama wasn’t enough, insiders claim the actor demanded a massive pay raise for Season 2 — nearly double what his co-stars are making. Netflix allegedly balked, calling his demands “unrealistic” and fueling rumors that they may cut him loose.
Fans Are Furious
Fans have flooded social media with outrage, trending hashtags like #ProtectOurStar and #NoUntamedWithoutHim.
“If they replace him, I’m DONE with the show,” one fan tweeted.
Another wrote: “This role is HIS. Netflix better not ruin Season 2 before it even starts.”
Could Netflix Really Replace Him?
Industry analysts say it wouldn’t be the first time Netflix has made a shocking cast change in a hit series. “The Witcher, House of Cards… they’ve done it before,” one critic noted. “The real question is whether Untamed can survive the fan backlash if they go through with it.”
The Bottom Line
With Untamed Season 2 set to premiere July 20, 2026, fans are left wondering: will their favorite star survive the scandal and return — or will Netflix gamble everything on a shocking recast?
One thing’s certain: the drama off-screen is already wilder than the story on it.
